You are appointed the ###to a president.
Two years into his term, he dies and you are appointed president.
### constitution protects your term length and you are still eligible to run for two terms.
Two years later at ### next election, you do not run, but you're again appointed VP. Immediately following the inauguration, the president resigns and you are again president. Congratulations, you have now served six years without being elected once.
The ###t election, you decide to run bc why not. You're elected and serve four years. You're now at a ten year term.
The next election, you go back to being VP. The president resigns again and you are appointed President.
As long as you are never ELECTED to your second term, then term limits do not apply to you. There is no constitutional law preventing the appointment of a VP. There is only a law preventing the election of a president more than twice.
You repeat this process of being appointed VP and ### president resigning, and you are legally infinitely ### president. |

@alan False ### language states you may only be elected to two terms. Keyword, elected |

My posts are #### ##### on this forum. Vik, you're just annoying when you complain about off topic posts when making off topic posts |
|

vik's off-topic posts are usually non-serious crapposting (kind of like what i do). yours though are serious political posts, which you seem to post almost exclusively these days, and everyone knows that those tend to start huge flamewars. and while i do tend to agree with you on most political topics it's actually getting somewhat tiring. i'm not really trying to specifically target you because you aren't ### only one making a bunch of these posts, but even ### ####mothering news in canada is talking about american politics so much now that i've actually stopped listening to radio programming in an attempt to avoid having ## ears plugged with a grand motherload of cancer. |

You're wrong. If you act as President for more than 2 years in a term for which another was elected to, it counts as a presidential term; you can only do this twice. Read ### 22nd amendment. ᗩᘉᓰᗰᗩ☂ᕮↁᗪᗩᘉᘉϒ〇 |

@Animated by that logic couldn't this work if you served less than 2 years each time? |

@Ani False. Every word matters when dealing with things like that and the 22nd amendment only applies to ELECTED presidents The ## is NOT elected. They are appointed. The lines of succession can not be skipped. |

late response; didn't see this cuz it fell to the bottom of my recent threads
while you may be right in that sense you still forgot that the 12th amendment prohibits those ineligible to become president from becoming vice president. for this reason, the only way you can truly pull this off is by being lower in the line of succession and having multiple people above you resign. regardless, it's not like this would ever, ever happen.
there's another constitutional loophole which is much, much more likely than this one (but still won't happen). it's the vice president being able to preside over his own impeachment trial. basically, the constitution does provide that when the president is impeached, the chief justice presides over his trial instead of the VP because of the conflict of interest (cuz he becomes president if he's convicted). however, the case of vice presidential impeachment is not provided for (and it hasn't happened to this day) so theoretically, in his capacity as President of the Senate, he could call to order his own trial. again, not going to happen because it's way too controversial and it doesn't really make sense either; how is he defending his impeachment while presiding over it? how is he supposed to testify? but anyway, i hope you see my point w/ this one.

"The ## is NOT elected"
i'm assuming these tags were "VP". although it still wouldn't change the situation (since you were talking about being elected President), to clarify, he's is not appointed unless there was previously a vacancy in the office of the vice president. he is elected by the electoral college exactly like how the president is.
